First announced in 2010, Bioshock Infinite is the third entry in the Bioshock franchise, and the second game to be developed by series creators Irrational Games.

BioShock Infinite takes place in 1912 in the flying city of Columbia. The game follows Booker DeWitt as he attempts to escort Elizabeth out of Columbia, pursued by the terrifying Songbird and battling supporters of the city's Prophet, Comstock.

Despite carrying the same name, Infinite is not a direct prequel to any of the previous BioShock games, and no actual story connections between Infinite and previous entries in the series have ever been announced.
